The Sanctuary Foundation for Prayer New Praying Life Post - Mudbabes and Humility - Go roll in the dirt today!

theprayinglife.wordpress.com
Sometimes I do not know what prayer is beyond the long worn rag of human longing waved toward the heavens like a tattered flag. Today I think prayer has to do with putting down one foot after the other upon this earth, while being honest with ourselves and God about our limitations. Today I think pr...

Perry Ross O Lord, remember not only the men and women of good will, but also those of ill will. But do not remember all the suffering they have inflicted on us, remember the fruits we have bought because of this suffering — our comradeship, our loyalty, our humility, our courage, our generosity, the greatness of heart that has g...rown out of all of this, and when they come to judgment, let all the fruits we have borne be their forgiveness.

The Sanctuary Foundation for Prayer New Blog Post. Warning! R rated, uses a three word

theprayinglife.wordpress.com
Name a three letter word, which will stop a conversation. Say it and watch people avert their eyes, stiffen, and slip away as quickly as possible.

We rarely hear this topic spoken of in church, or anywhere, any more. We are ostriches with our heads in the sand. Thank you for this reminder.

The Sanctuary Foundation for Prayer Wisdom from the Ascetics: Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Maybe the halitosis was more beneficial to him then one would ordinarily think!?

Now are the days of humblest prayer, When consciences to God lie bare, And mercy most delights to spare!...

I love that - "in the multitude of your compassion, hear." Might we all know such multitudes of compassion in our hearing and our speaking.

The Sanctuary Foundation for Prayer New post: "In a culture which denies death, sin, and personal and corporate responsibility for wrong doing, I am moved by these who come to stand before God and one another in radical honesty..."

This never fails to shake me to core – people coming together in the dead of winter, to bow their foreheads for the ash, to be told they are going to die . . .

The Sanctuary Foundation for Prayer New Blog Post: "It was Valentine’s Day. He lay slumped on her lap like a great heavy mail sack stuffed with the cards and letters of creation’s lovelorn."

theprayinglife.wordpress.com
It was Valentine’s Day. She sat there with God on her lap,holiness in a heap. From all appearances the love affair between God and creation had gone terribly awry. The Valentine sent to us had been trampled, torn, spit upon, and rejected.

The energy of love will never do for us that which we ought to do for ourselves; but will ever back up the creature’s efforts by its grace, coming into action just where our action fails.

This statement is helpful to me. I've been trying to put in words in my sermon my attempts at faithfulness this week, and the feelings of missing the connection I would have liked to have had with someone. Remembering that I am backed up by grace is helpful and hopeful.

Now there's a blast from the past. Sam Lanham. Never met him. But his was a name often on the tongue of one of my mentors, my first and only senior pastor - Paul Debenport.

It makes me sad, carrying on like Jesus is not here, like God didn’t love us so much that he died and rose for us. Me – like some self indulgent, disingenuous little twit saying with Philip, “Just show us the Father, then we will all believe.

The Sanctuary Foundation for Prayer "Celebrate this unlikely oracle,this ball of fat and fur,whom we so mysteriously endow with the power to predict spring. Let's hear it for the improbable heroes who,frightened at their own shadows,nonetheless unwittingly work miracles. Why shouldn't we believe this peculiar rodent holds power over sun and seasons in hi...s stubby paw? Who says that God is all grandeur and glory?"

What a face. Can't say how utterly enchanted I was by that face and the accompanying thoughts expressed in the poem by Lynn Ungar. Thank you.
